' energy that is better for the wallet' whos fucking wallet ? you tyrants

 

[zaprjaques]

everybodys focusing on their wallets.
thats how they get them sold for it.

 

[zaprjaques]

at the supermarkets they always ask me if i have the so and so app or this and that members card, and why not, and its easy to do online and get a discount.
sure you cunts, a discount doesnt mean that you get to sell my data to zuckerberg so he can make even more money with it by knowing wich type of toilet paper i buy in a month where i also buy a bunch of cheese and motherfucking cauliflower.

plus i get the dicounts anyway cause i'm flirty with the cashier ladies... thats whats up.

It's a lot warmer in the loft today since i replaced the dusty yellow glass fibre stuff for the brown glass wool stuff which means it takes me less time to get revved up to do more.

At some point it will be entirely liveable up there.

Presently i'm shuffling the ipod 1 cos its been hacked to play utter shite today. As soon as i get some good tunes on the coffee needs warming up and well... you know the rest

its coming on though, slow but strong and steady. Bloody good job

I fancy korean chilii, ginger, garlic, soysauce cucumber salad

as expected. just received this letter from the electric company . they must think we all are npc's or something . crazyness. the saga continues . they will keep doing this until it is law, and they will force me to pay for that installation

I have a smart meter. I hope to fuck i'm getting economy7 with all the flashing, i'm not gonna ask though

traps you to one supermarket too . you may miss out on 16 p saving on sausage if you do not use your loyalty card . i will spend 1.26p extra in fuel to save the 16 p and stay loyal .

loyalty card is great if you stay in one location and only use one store, and have no physical money and just a phone with digits on a screen

they should just sell the products cheaper and fuck the favouritism shit

 

[zaprjaques]

once i had a postcard with viennese wino drunkie slang, its like viennese².
only mastered by older waiters ...

@DaEarl73

great acting

 

[shiva82]

you will eat zi bugs and get a loyalty card, you earthlings

 

[zaprjaques]

just imagine how much money they must make to give some breadcrumbs to their customers ....

Just found out some problems of my recent grows.

I have not watered with drain so far because of waterlogging and have not checked the EC value of the the draining water as consequence. However, as I am about to harvest and nothing has happened in the last 2 - 3 weeks, I have just done it anyway.

One plant had EC three and the other EC five 1,2 to 1,8 is a good value, isn’t it?

During my experiments today, I also found out that I have to leave my pH meter in the water for longer to get accurate values. I then also found out why the pH value in soil is constantly rising. The pH of the tap water is eight.

In my previous measurement, I had a pH value of six. I happened to see that the value had changed when I wrote it down and then came up with the correct value. I then recalibrated the device and repeated the measurement several times and always came back to pH eight in the tap water.

A few days ago I found out that the soil I was using has a potassium value that is far too high 780mg/l (instead of 500 max), which blocks the absorption of calcium, magnesium and nitrogen.
Unfortunately, I bought 200 liters of soil and no longer have the receipt to be able to exchange it.
According to the information I received, however, adding a light dose of Calmag when fertilizing is sufficient.

Because of the waterlogging, I will
mix soil with cocos for the next grow to improve drainage.

 

[exoticrobotic]

coco will hold more water than compost.

I am always tempted to drill some holes in the base of the pots on the side to allow more runoff.

When i flushed my plants the water came out dark brown. I dint check the ec, woulda been v high but i still dont water to runoff as the roots are so dense they act like a tardis and soak up huge amounts

what form of potassium ? what soil? ihardly ever use an ec or ph meter when using soil . you are probably killing the plants with kindness, over watering , over feeding , poor airflow, low heat etc etc . just keep it simple and don't over complicate it . go back to basics of horticulture.

 

[exoticrobotic]

poor airflow,

that reminds me. i must get some air suction out of the small tent, condensation is there

 

[shiva82]

just keep the plant happy .complete feed when needed . monitor roots . keep roots white and productive .

just decide on a method you enjoy growing , and stick with it and dial it in with what you have

 

[exoticrobotic]

improve drainage.

i really think that would help a lot. Every canna grower overwaters, i do too and have seen soaking wet roots at the bottom but dry at the top third in the hydro square pots so they need more drainage

 

[strain_hunter]

I learned this season, that the 6,5 and 10 liter pots under LED don't dry fast enough in my living room in late autumn and winter when I pour water with drain.
Do you think 50% coco substrate in the soil is enough to be able to water with drain without waterlogging?
I have a constant 21 degrees Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit) at this time of year.
I would also switch completely to coconut, but I have read that it is easier if you switch gradually. I can also use up all the soil and fertilizer, which makes my wallet happy.

 

[shiva82]

in the garden of eden or the azrec jungles and such , where they were producing crops in near impossible substrates and climates , they used hands on experience passed down through generations , they used intuition , and they read the plants . they did not need any gadgets as such

adding coco will give you a need to add cal and mag to buffer the coco , and extra nitrogen. resulting in ganja not quite as nice imo. and also adds to nutrient costs and monitoring.

just get some decent soil pre mixed, or decent soil and add vermiculite for drainage

 

[shiva82]

i just transplanted 2 clones into coco,,,, now i do have to feed every watering for those two girls, and just canna a and b is all i need .

weed grows in cracks of pavements with just rain water and surface dirt and dust
